M4 ISO FX
As additional software for your piping design system
Use M4 ISO FX with your current 3D piping design system to generate piping isometrics from your PCF files.
M4 ISO for Creo
As an extension for Creo Piping
M4 ISO is available as an add-on module for Creo Piping and automatically generates piping isometrics from Creo piping models.

Piping Isometric Drawings from 3D Pipework Designs

4 ISO FX is a complete solution for the generation and editing of piping isometrics. The standalone software offers the possibility to convert PCF files fully automatically into unscaled piping isometrics. In addition to the fully dimensioned and annotated piping isometrics, production-ready parts lists, pipe cut-length lists, weld and bend tables, are also generated at the same time.

Advantages for your company

Automation

M4 ISO works completely automatically enabling you to generate piping isometrics in a few seconds without manual effort.

Accurate manufacturing

All isometrics and parts lists are generated ready for production and styled to suit your processes. Bend data can also be output for NC pipe bending machines.

Standardisation

Support for Metric and Imperial units and all common dimensioning standards. Drawing styles and templates are also customisable.

We support you

Our team supports you as a partner and offers you a comprehensive service with a hotline for your daily questions.

M4 ISO Functionality

M4 ISO uses 3D pipework data to automatically create unscaled piping ISOs together with parts lists and other associated documents. The documents are produced in seconds, ready for production use, and styled to suit company drawing standards. The automated production of piping ISOs offers tremendous advantages over manually drawn 2D or isometric drawings, which in comparison are time-consuming to produce, highly prone to human error, and therefore inferior and much more expensive. With M4 ISO, project costs are always under control, even if the design undergoes numerous revisions before manufacture.

The fastest way to create piping isometrics

It is not without reason that piping isometrics (ISOs) are the most important design drawing used in pipework construction today. Piping ISOs are an integral part of the multi-stage design process. They accurately and clearly document the pipework design and contain all the information necessary for fabrication. Due to their unscaled nature, very long and complex pipe runs can be depicted using a single piping ISO drawing. They also permit an unobstructed view of all piping components and ensure that even the smallest components can be clearly seen, even on very long pipe runs. Individual piping components are represented by familiar, standardized isometric symbols. This ensures that piping ISOs are universally recognised and understood by pipework fabricators throughout industry, which in turn leads to higher quality and fewer manufacturing errors. Nicht ohne Grund sind die Rohrleitungsisometrien die wichtigsten Ausführungszeichnungen im Rohrleitungsbau. Rohrleitungsisometrien gehören zu einem festen Bestandteil des mehrstufigen Planungsprozesses. Sie dienen als Basis der Rohrleitungsplanung und sind das Ausgangsdokument für den Zuschnitt und die Fertigung der Rohrleitungen. Durch die unmaßstäbliche Darstellung lassen sich auf einem Blatt sehr komplexe und lange Rohrleitungen kompakt dokumentieren und sind damit besser lesbar. Eine Isometrie ermöglicht die ungehinderte Sicht auf alle Komponenten und stellt sicher, dass auch kleinste Bauteile auf sehr langen Rohrstrecken zu sehen sind. Dabei werden die einzelnen Rohrleitungskomponenten durch standardisierte Symbole dargestellt, womit diese Dokumente von jedem Rohrleitungsbauer gelesen und damit die Rohrleitungen schnell und problemlos hergestellt werden können.

Pipework designs documented in line with production requirements

Through the use of industry-standard piping symbols and unscaled isometric representation, M4 ISO delivers production-ready piping ISOs at the push of a button. Piping ISOs are universally understood by pipework fabricators and clearly specify how individual pipe spools are to be manufactured and assembled. All piping components and pipes are automatically fully dimensioned and annotated. Detailed parts and cutting lists specify precisely the quantity and type of materials required. Machine-ready pipe bending tables also accelerate the fabrication process. Even welding lists are generated automatically to support downstream process at the construction site and beyond.

  • PCF = Piping Component File.
  • A PCF file is generated by piping design systems from 3D pipework models.
  • The PCF file fully describes the 3D pipework and is a standard file format.
  • M4 ISO generates a fully dimensioned piping isometric drawing from the PCF file, together with a parts list.
